Yesterday, I viewed the last of the videos from the class I purchased from Jessica Brody She walks you through all 15 beats of the story.
I viewed all of them. I thought my story was dull and boring, So I am taking her advice and am reworking all of my beats. The story will be the same, but better.
Last night I was tired, but I wanted to write the opening scene. I wrote 1,000 words before going to bed. Not sure yet if the opening scene is right, but lest it is a start
On her website, she has a cool resource, called the Word//Page Count Calculator:
Type in the word count of the novel and it will tell you the word count should be at each beat.
I printed it out. and taped it onto my notebook, that I am using for the 15 beats and outline. Then I can see if I am on track while writing.
I think this is the coolest thing and very helpful. Check it out at at Jessica Brody click on For Writers and then Resources.
I do believe I am on my way to writing this book and finishing it. I have 12 weeks or less before I quit my job and write full time. I need to get busy.
On a side note. I bought 12 s day old chicks that are now in my bathtub. I have six outside in the coop laying eggs and my boyfriend thought we needed more. So as I write I am dealing with chicks and chickens and soon will be dealing with a garden. So I need to quit my job.That is what I am dealing with while writing.
What are you dealing with as you try to write?
